The Kavanaugh Confirmation Motivated Me To Rejoin The Republican Party
The Federalist ^ | October 08, 2018 | Krista Kafer

Posted on 10/08/2018 1:54:59 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Consider the accused guilty until proven innocent. Judge a sober, middle-aged adult by his teen beer consumption. Insist on an FBI investigation then dismiss its findings because they don’t support the narrative. Demand that the opinion of enraged activists and Hollywood actors count more than weeks of hearings. Mob the capitol. Make Kavanaugh atone for every sexual assault that has gone unpunished. Consider revenge an acceptable substitute for justice whose recipient need not be guilty, just available.

Something about that ever-changing narrative made me suspicious of other motives. An allegation of teen sexual assault from 36 years ago quickly morphed into something worse. A liberal friend asked me how I could support a rapist who had tried to choke his victim. Huh?

Then Kavanaugh was accused of orchestrating rape parties in high school and being a pervert in college. When no evidence could be found to substantiate Christine Blasey Ford’s claim and no one took the pathetic second or third allegations seriously, the story changed again. Kavanagh was portrayed as an unhinged adult unwilling to admit his teen drinking problem. In the end, the only allegation that stuck was that Kavanaugh threw ice at someone 30-plus years ago. All of this for airborne ice? Or could it be they just don’t like his jurisprudence?

Like other Never Trumpers, during the last election I needed to put some distance between me and the GOP candidate.

I'm glad she's back, I guess. But leaving the Republican Party over Trump's election is just another example of muddled reasoning of the Never Trumpers. Did it really take Kavanaugh to make her realize that the Left has been engaging in an all-out, underhanded, play dirty war in the politics of personal destruction for at least three decades now?

My guess is that article won't get much attention, but it did contain one absolute gem of an insight:

Make Kavanaugh atone for every sexual assault that has gone unpunished.

That is perhaps the best statement I've seen of what is going on in the minds of some women, and some Low-T men as well. They don't see Kavanaugh as an individual, and they aren't bothering to evaluate the facts specific to the allegation against him. They've just latched onto him as a convenient proxy for any man who has ever done something wrong to some woman.

These clowns are not independent thinkers like the typical freeper is. Their paycheck is tied to their opinion of trump. The water is safe for them now. They need their conservat8ve creds back and like a herd of cattle they are republicans again.

As Jesse Watters just said on Fox - maybe the first time ever Republicans showed up for a gunfight with a gun......

I’m not a never Trumper; but I did vote for the candidate of the Constitution party.The Republican party has really disappointed me several times. Of course, the other major party are braying donkeys who claim kinship to monkeys.

Brett Kavanaugh was a way for the Left to vent their anger and frustrations about the sexist actions of Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Anthony Weiner and a slew of others and Hillary Clinton for defending them.

Only the took it all out on a scapegoat.

The fact that she allowed herself to be manipulated into being a Never-Trumper to begin with, tells me that she’s fickle, and will turn at the drop of a hat. That, or she’s just plain stupid.

"I only hope I can get to her before Laz does."

How do you know he hasn't already been there?

Yep, it helped restore a bit of my faith. It’s going to take a lot more.

Trump? I’m down as I can be. (meaning favorably)

As for the other Republicans on Capital Hill, they’re not even close.
